Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CW Platform Management
Revision 2.4 61

Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository device functionality: The BMC supports storage
and access of system SDRs.

Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The BMC provides IPMI management
of sensors. It polls sensors to monitor and report system health.

IPMI interfaces
-
Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive message
queue support, and server management mode (SMM)
-
IPMB interface
-
LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)

Serial-over-LAN (SOL)

ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by
the BIOS.

BMC self-test: The BMC performs initialization and runtime self-tests and makes
results available to external entities.

5.1.2 Non-IPMI Features Overview
The BMC supports the following non-IPMI features.

In-circuit BMC firmware update.

Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.

Chassis intrusion detection (dependent on platform support).

Fan speed control with SDR. Fan redundancy monitoring and support.

Enhancements to fan speed control.

Power supply redundancy monitoring and support.

Hot-swap fan support.

Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles.

Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting
platform signal states.

The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.

System GUID storage and retrieval.

Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED.
It supports secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button
presses. The chassis ID LED is turned on using a front panel button or a command.

Power state retention.

Power fault analysis.

Intel® Light-Guided Diagnostics.
